‘I often wonder just how I managed to survive the loss of my Mark to suicide, the pain almost crippled me in so many ways. I have always been a believer that everything happens for a reason… but THIS…Suicide… there was no rhyme and no reason it seemed. Suicide always leaves you with so many WHY’S… which lead me on a journey to find out WHY…ending in more pain at each discovery.’

At the start of 1998, Tanya French was a busy and happy wife and mother of three doing just what every other mother does, to do her very best to give her family the best life they could possibly have, whilst simultaneously managing a highly successful international golf course construction and maintenance company with her husband Mark. Her world and that of her family changed dramatically by mid 1998 when Mark suddenly and tragically took his own life sending her family, relatives, friends, work colleagues and a whole town into total shock. This man, this outgoing, vivacious, talented, funny, life of the party person had ended his own life sending Tanya on a journey of trying to understand and find the answers to why he would choose to end his life so tragically and so violently and why he would prefer to not be with those that loved him so much.
